* AX_PROG_PERL_VERSION: fix detection of recent perl versionsPeter Simons2013-08-241-2/+6
| | | | | Recent perl versions have parens around the version string. See http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?8144 for further details.

* Assigned all macros a unique serial number.Peter Simons2010-01-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | The serial number corresponds to the number of commits that have modified the macro in the Archive's Git repository. Refer to http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool//manual/automake/Serials.html to find out why these numbers are useful.

* ALL: consistency edits (see NEWS)Peter Simons2009-04-261-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | * Consistently refer to this project as Autoconf Archive. * Removed the LAST MODIFICATION section, because that information is redundant in the presence of Git. * COPYLEFT has been renamed to LICENSE: some licenses, like all-permissive, are no copylefts.
* Synchronize last-modified-date with GIT repository.Peter Simons2009-04-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | The last-modified-date of these macros didn't match their respective last-modified-date in the GIT repository. A version bump remedies this inconsistency. In hindsight, these dates should have bumped when the distribution format changed; all macros had to be touched at this point anyway.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The markup format distributed by the Autoconf Macro Archive underwent the following changes: * All archive entries use '#' comment delimiters, rather than 'dnl', because we would like those comments to go into the generated configure script. It should be simple for everyone to determine where the macro came from originally, who wrote it, and where the latest version can be retrieved. To achieve this, every macro used to start with a distinguished line that shows the URL of its respective home page, i.e.: | ##### http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/ax_prog_acme.html As it happens, the aclocal utility distributed with Automake ignores all comment lines that start with a double hash '##', thus those home page URLs will not make it into any automatically generated aclocal.m4 file. Duh. To remedy the situation, the following markup is now used instead: | # ================================================================= | # http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/ax_prog_acme.html | # ================================================================= * The 2.x versions of the GNU GPL and LGPL contain the following clause: | You should have received a copy of the <GNU LICENSE NAME> along | with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, | Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA. Version 3.x, however, smartly refers the reader to the Web: | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License | along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. This patch changes all GPL2 and LGPL2 macros to do the same, i.e. to refer to the GNU web site for the full text of the respective license. * Since all m4 files had to be changed in this commit anyway, the opportunity was used to increase the auto-fill column for documentation from 65 to 75 characters per line. It's a trivial change, but it just looks nicer.

* Major re-factoring of Perl, Guile, Python, and Ruby detection macros.Francesco Salvestrini2008-01-281-0/+91
The new submission AX_WITH_PROG generalizes the technique employed by the original AX_WITH_PYTHON to allow for detecting generic executables. Based on that macro, trivial wrappers are provided for finding installed versions of Perl, Guile, Python, and Ruby. NOTE: The earlier version of AX_WITH_PYTHON performed a version check. The AX_WITH_PROG-based macros don't do that. Instead, separate macros are available for Perl, Guile, Python, and Ruby that check the version of a given executable in a second, independent step.
